Movie Reviews of Ride the Wild Surf
Movie Review: A Beach Movie with Character and Depth - One of the Best
Summary: 5 Stars
Unlike other beach movies that were typified by silly slapstick buffoonery, muscles and bikinis RIDE THE WILD SURF was the antithesis of such tomfoolery. Still keeping the muscles and bikinis RIDE THE WILD SURF took itself serious and played it straight. Basically three buddies from California (Fabian, Tab Hunter and Peter Brown) travel to Hawaii during school break looking for the challenge of the truly big waves each with own motivations and reasons. They are not alone in their quest and that sets up the dynamics of this good film as they vie not only to be the best but to win the hearts of the three females (Barbara Eden, Shelley Fabares and Susan Hart) who become enamored with them. In their way are other surfers (including James Mitchum and Roger Davis) looking for that perfect wave as well. This all intensifies the competition, develops the camaraderie and shows the true character and sportsmanship of the surfers. Technically the surfing and cinematography are outstanding. Jan & Dean play the title song that stands toe to toe with anything the Beach Boys did in the musical genre. This is a great film.
Movie Review: This is so 60's but the best!
Summary: 5 Stars
I love this movie. The plot line is more interesting than that of the Frankie/Annette beach movies. 3 guys from California make their dream trip to Hawaii over Christmas vacation to surf the hot spots. All have different life changing experiences in Hawaii that involve a girl, and of course it is all worked out over the course of 10 days. It is very indicative of the times. Guys surf, girls sit on the beach in a different bikini each day with the big hair do's and NEVER get the swim suits wet. Good group of actors, and Brian Wilson wrote the score and Jan and Dean sing the main song. One of my faves, even with the staged up close "surfing" shots.Movie Review: "RIDE THE WILD SURF" SHOOTS THE CURL
Summary: 5 Stars
A fun "sun and surf" flick of the mid 60's - this is certainly one of the better offerings of that genre. With a good cast that includes Tab Hunter, Shelley Fabares and Fabian, this entertaining flick moves well,contains some fairly innocuous love scenes, and actually has some nice surfing footage. Perhaps not surprisingly, it has a good message for teens and it's fun to watch too. The title song was actually a hit tune as well - cute movie.Movie Review: Ride the Wild Surf of My Memories
Summary: 5 Stars
This is one of the best surfing movies from the 60's!!! And talk about the cast being so very in at that time!!! It is right up there with the Gidget movie with Sandra Dee. We are lucky to finally get this in DVD and it will live forever!!! Very enjoyable picture of the times that were so simple.Movie Review: 1sr one damaged

When I received this, the case was cracked. After talking to customer service, they sent a new one and reimbursed my postage for sending the first one back. The second one was in great condition.
